Footer
The strip at the bottom of every page — built from columns you stack: brand info, link menus, a text column, and a newsletter signup. Below them sits a bottom bar with copyright, payment icons, and a “powered by” line.
What it’s for. Catching people at the bottom of a page — somewhere to find your hours, your policies, your socials, and a way to keep in touch. It’s the same on every page, so it’s where the housekeeping lives once and stays put.
When to use it. It’s already on, in the Footer group, on every page. Edit it from Footer in the theme editor. Add up to eight column blocks (Brand, Menu, Text, Newsletter) in any order; they flow into as many columns as fit and wrap on their own.
Ways to use it
- Brand column — your logo (or shop name if you leave it blank), an about line, address, store hours, and social icons.
- Link menus — one Menu block per column, e.g. Shop (Singles, Sealed, Buylist) and Information (Shipping, Returns, Events). Each pulls from a Shopify navigation menu.
- Newsletter — an email signup that tags subscribers “newsletter.”
Tips
- Menu links come from your Shopify navigation menus (Content → Menus), not typed here. Pick the menu per column; a blank pick shows nothing on the live site (the editor warns you).
- Social icons come from your global theme settings (Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Discord, Twitch) — set the links once there, then turn them on in the Brand block. Only filled-in networks show.
- Payment icons show whatever payment methods your store actually accepts; nothing to configure.
- The newsletter button follows your accent color by default — only flip the custom color toggle if you want to override it.
- The bottom bar shows “Powered by Sideboard” by default; “Powered by Shopify” is off. Turn on the cookie settings link only if the Cookie consent section is enabled.
